The second edition of "Essential Medical Statistics", by Betty Kirkwood and
Jonathan Sterne, was published recently. The book has been comprehensively
revised and updated to include modern statistical methods and modern
approaches to statistical analysis, while retaining the approachable and
non-mathematical style of the first edition. It now includes full coverage
of the most commonly used regression models, multiple linear regression,
logistic regression, Poisson regression and Cox regression, as well as a
chapter on general issues in regression modelling. In addition, new
chapters introduce more advanced topics such as meta-analysis, likelihood,
bootstrapping and robust standard errors, and analysis of clustered data.
